Hydroelectric power stations in Greece

To begin with, in Aegean Sea, as far as the wind power is concerned there are a large number of wind turbines in almost all the islands. For instance, there are 89 turbines in Milos, 62 in Kos, 44 in Amorgos, 27 in Kythnos, 21 in Sikinos, 20 in Kimolos, 18 in Astipalaia, 16 in Folegandros and 5 in Tilos, while impressive is the fact that the small island of Polyaigos, located east of the Kimolos island, has at its disposal 31 wind turbines. All that kind of wind power is available in Greece and more specifically in the Aegean Sea where there are the highest values ​​of wave power in the Mediterranean, in the range of 4-11 KW / m. Particularly characteristic is that the technically exploitable wave potential for the EU Member States estimated total of 150-230 TWh / year, of which 5-9 TWh / year corresponding to the Greek seas.
